These books were created by 4-6 year old children with their teachers at The University of Melbourne's Early Learning Centre, during a cross-cultural exchange project with P*elica Kindergarten in Zagreb, Croatia. The project encouraged understanding of other cultures through the exchange of letters, drawings, personal stories, photographs as well as ecological and cultural features and symbols of the other country. The eight month project involved 41 children and resulted in a children's art exhibition in Zagreb and the publication of "Traps of the Square-Looking Forest" in Croatia and "The Story of Lost Toys" in Australia. Both stories
have been published in dual languages and exchanged with the children of each country.

Croatia is a country in Central Europe. The main religion is christianity.
The main language is Croatian. Croatia seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991.

Background:
In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after
1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal
independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although
Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four

were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last
Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998.
